because only hippies smoke grass, rite?

Out of intrest though; do 'whities' or 'the shakes' damage you?
And isn't the fact the it blocks your vessels a bad thing?

lol, I didn't know about that, so let me get this straight, weed "Prevents" cancer, but smoking "Causes" it so....now all you got to do is decided what you'ld rather die from....brain or lung cancer..hmmmmm

Um, I dont think anyone has actually gotten cancer from smoking grass

Wait... this is news?

Too bad it won't be on the market, seeing as how the plant can grow absolutely anywhere. Of course they'll try to stick the isolated enzyme in a pill, but it just won't "work the same" as smoking. They'll try to add some procedure to the mix that's patentable, but the results will be the same.

So, yeah... REMEMBER KIDS: PRESCRIPTIONS PAY OFF, NOT CURES.

It's good indubitably good. Good good good. That's all every legitimate study has ever concluded. There is no reason for it to be illegal. Give in you nancy government ponces!

Heh; most British MPs already admitted that they've tried le weed at some time or other. Bleedin' hypocrites.

Hurrah, more stoner hype.

It doesn't block blood vessels; it helps to halt the growth of more blood vessels. Tumors greatly accelerate the growth of blood vessels around them because they need a lot of blood to continue to grow. By preventing the growth of these vessels, the tumor should shrink.
